In our wav of thinkin>7. the 1j-
mar State Coll?ge at Beaumont,
has done itself proud in the se-
lection of the new president of that
institution. Dr. F I. McDonald,
who has headed the Journalism
School at TSCW, is that new presi-
dent, who will soon assume his
duties there. Dr. McDonald has
proven himself to be an educator
of note, and. too, he has made
good in the administration end of
a business, having wide experi-
ence in World War II. when he
was in charge of supplies in the
Pacific area Beaumont’s gain,
we think, is Denton’s loss, both a
to a citizen »nd an educator.

The resolution was offered by
Waiter G. Hall of Dickinson, chair-
man of the "Loyal Democrats" of
Texas. It now goes to the whole
committee for debate and action.
Another resolution by John Cofer
of Austin urging the state conven-
tion to support Sen. Lyndon B
Johnson as a "favorite son" candi-
date for the presidential nomina-
tions was tabled by the subcom-
mittee.
Cofer, who hat been working
with tbe aggressive Loyaliat fac-
tion fighting Gov Allan Shivers,
told the subcommittee his resolu-
tion wss "purely personsl and not
offered by me as representing any
group ”
He said the resolution wa* pre-
pared before the present contro-
versy developed in Texas.
The resolution subcommittee told
Cofer that it sympathized with his
idea, but it did not think it should
distinguish between Johnson and
other outstanding Texas Demo-
crats.
The subcommittee also tabled
another resolution by Cofer de-
manding that Democrats who want
to take part in precinct con ven
tions pledge themselves in advsnee
to support al) nominees of the
Democratic party, including
tional candidates
Cofer said he would carry the
resolution to the floor of the com-
mittee in full session.
That set the stage fo« a knock
down battle on the principal issue
facing the committee.
event that either platform or nom-
inee of the national convention
should be deemed untrue to Texas
tradition or faithless to historic
democratic principle—to return
and report to the sovereign Demo-
crats of Texas and submit to them
through referendum or other spe-
cial procedure the future course
of the Democratic party of Texes
in the 1952 presidential election.
In such an event let the great body
! of Texas Democrats meet and de
(tide,” the fpvemor said. 'jr
He scornfully assailed opponents
who he slid had stooped to a cam-
paign of "personal abuse"—an
obvious reference to the bitter
campaign carried on by the loyal-
ist faction in its fight against him.
Shivers spoke after a subcommit-
tee unanimously appioved a resolu-
tion calling for presidential prima-
ries in Texas and direct election
of presidential electors.
Begins At Omaha
OMAHA tn—The mad Missouri
squeezed its flood swollen crest into
tbe narrow Omaha-Council Bluffs
levee channel today and an army
of workers battled to hold the great
river in its strait-jacket of dikes
The critical hours began before
dawn when the slow-moving flood
crest began surging into the seven-
mile long funnel of sodden dikes
protecting the lowlands of the twin
cities of Omaha and Council Bluffs,
Iowa.
The next 48 hours may determine
whether the tremendous water
pressures will burst through levees
and causa more agony and damage
sloiv this river which has become
a monster of destruction
All night long soldiers and civil-
ian workers—more than 24.000 of
them—toiled under floodlights on
the dikes here and on levees down-
stream where the rising waters are

prisoners of tiie Korean War.
There was no indication whether
“ a break was imminent in the long
deadlock over the Allied demand
for voluntary repatriation.
Some observers; however, indi-
cated a compromise formula was
in the works. Both aides were be-
lived to have spent the past two
weeks overhauling prisoner rotters

The UN. Command said it wa*
ready for another try to oreik the

to allow both side* to explore pos-

The agreement to resume pris-
oner exchange talks came during
- a abort "no progress" session of
the subcommittee on “truce super-
vision.
The meeting lasted eight minutes
and 25 seconds —more than the to-
tal of the previous seven sessions
But Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison
said no headway was made toward
breaking the two-way deadlock
over Red nomination of Russia as
a neutral truce inspector and Allied
objections to the rebuilding of the
North Korean military airfields.
Observers have predicted an

WASHINGTON tip — Editor* of
leading American newspapers to-
day hoped for White House clarifi-
cation of President Truman’s news
conference remark which implied
he felt he had the right to seize
newspapers and radio stations, a*
he did the steel industry, if it Would
beat serve the country.
Some of the editors who were
among the 520 newsmen present
at the conference yesterday pro-
tested afterward that if such power
exists the - “on is close to dic-
tatorship.
The explosive issue was touched
off when the President was asked
this question:
"If it is proper to seize the steel
mills, esn you in your opinion,
seize the newspaper* and rcJio
stations?"
Truman replied that under sim-
ilar circumstances, the President
of the United State* ha* to act for
whatever is for the best of the
country. That is the answer, he
added.
Many editor* promptly interpre-
ted this a* implying, if not speci-
fically claiming, the power to acne
newapaper* and radio station* a*
he seized the strike-threatened steel
industry last week.
Reaction* of editor* here attend-
ing the annual meeting of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors (ASNE). many of whom
were at the new* conference,
and A. A Baltensperger presented
the program, rfter which a short
tour was conducted.
Dr. Chada, entomologist, explain-
ed that he has been assigned to the
local station primarily io study the
green bug. which has caused ex-
tensive damage to wheat and oats
in past year*.
"1 don’t know whether I scared
them off or not." Dr. Chada said,
"but the green bugs have done lit-
tle damage since I arrived. The red
spider has caused some damage to
wheat this spring, but we haven't
aeen much of the green bug around
here."
The entomologist explained that
he works with Dr. I. M. Atkins,
wlio has charge of small grain re-
search over Texas as well as at
the Denton experiment farm.

at the itatton, explained that the

that particular area, but of ad-

people will want to attend the
three-act play, "Let’s Get Rich”,
vhich is to be given at the school
auditorium tonight at 8 o’clock
The purpose of the play, and the
small admission price, is to buy
furniture that is needed for the
third and fourth grade rooms of'
the school. Mrs. Ruth Hilliard is
the director of the caste, which
will include both men and women

There’ll at least be a break in
the speed of automobiles on East
Hickory Street hereafter, as the
city force has placed a stop light
at the intersection of East Hickory
and Industrial Boulevard. Hereto
fore there has been no sign, sug-
gesting a stop, between the depot
and the square, and it might be
said that some of the drivers may
have exceeded speed limits in
driving that street. As we see it,
the city is to be commended upon |
the placing of this stop light.

Doctors, lawyer*, business exec

The river crept to 30 15 feet early I 1^
today. Flood level is 19 feet and j
the highest flood ever before re-!
Corded wa* 24 6 feel back in 1881.
The great battle wa* to get the
crest of the river safely past the
narrow Omaha channel tliroinh
which the water is flowing at the,
fantastic rate of 286 billion gallons ’
per day.
North of Omaha, the Missouri •
sprawls across the farmland for
as much as 15 miles Little ham-
lets are inundated and farm build-
ings stand with only (heir roofs
showing in the yast and lonely wil-
derness from ’ which ail living
thing have fled.
For 50 miles upstream, the river
average* 10 mile* in width—or
52,800 feet. But in .the narrowest
part of the Omaha-Council Bluff*
channel the funnel i* only 1.200 feet
wide. And the tide must be passed
through this slender bottleneck be
(ore the danger is past.
There wa* no wall of water or
battering wavea. The river crest
wa* a monstrou*. creeping thing
that moved slowly and with tre
mendous power. It strained gainst
the dikes here with a prcsaiur^ of
more than 1,250 pound per square
foot.
Through the night worker*
rushed sandbags to weak points.
The water crept to the top of the
levees at some point* and then
apiashed againat the board* built
to hold back the top few inche* of
the river'* creat.
Water oored through *oggy level* 1
